SuperSAINT

Not one for posting conspiracy theories, Charlie?

We need to manage Ings so carefully. Seems to break down so often (certainly no more 3 games a week).

My best guess ages ago was a hernia. No idea if that's what it was. Ralph said the op went very well but was seemingly way off on his ETA for him. Ralph is either very optimistic or the info he's given isn't very good because it's been like that on quite a few injuries.

Had an op, still training away from the 1st team as he continues to recover.

Agreed. Started this season really well & have kept digging results out even when they lost a few of their better performers (Obafemi / Valery / Slattery). The U18's that stepped up have done really well.

Full Time. Great job, Saints. All kicking off on the touch line!

Saints down to 10.

1-1

Don't think I've seen him in training yet. Not sure we should risk him with a 3 week break after this game.

Saints 1-0 Smallbone with a thunder b*stard penalty.

Agree & for various reasons. I think it will make it clear why we're so desperate to shift people. If these accounts include VvD & J-Rod sales, then since then we've only actually Tadic leaving as a source of transfer income. (Gardos / Pied / Taylor all got released on free's). Wages to turnover seem pretty high already at 74% -- They will likely go way higher once the ''Gunn / Vest / Moi / Armstrong / Ings'' wages go on top of that.

Poch given 2 match touchline ban.

Do these figures include wages for summer signings of Ings / Vest / Moi / Gunn / Armstrong ?

Some good stuff in there for the "where has all the money gone?" people to read. Simple stuff like J-Rod's fee being seen as largely "all profit" because he'd been with us so long. People forget that if we sell Hoedt or Boufal it isn't necessarily money we make - we still have to pay for large chunks of their original fees.

To a champions league club? That's the only explanation. I don't really get why we blatantly lied to the press about what we sold him for.

Yeah, didn't Utd want a £6m loan fee for Darmian in January?

Hope so.

I'll take as many positives as I can from this weekend.

Fair question, but the reality is, he hasn't been fit for ages, and won't be match fit for quite some time. I see him featuring from the bench for a while. (assuming he recovers this season). I'm guessing confidence.

They might even rest a couple against them.

Great stuff. Was weirdly worried they would get something today.
